Did not like it, why tip?

I get sick and tired of lazy waitresses that feel like they deserve a tip even when I did not like my food, the service or the experience in general. Why do you think I should tip in a situation like this?

Barbra,

This e-mail is so wrong on so many levels. First of all if your server (waiter/waitress) does their job and does not slap you, consider it a good experience. By the sound of your e-mail you are a royal pain to wait on. What exactly do you expect from your waitress? Do you expect her to sing and dance? Bottom line is if you sit in her section, she waits on you, she smiles at you and does a decent job, it is your responsibility to tip her. Please stop looking for reasons not to tip. The tip is part of the experience. Get used to it, or drive through.
